Lumerical information

What is a Lumerical engineer?

Lumerical engineers are professionals who use Lumerical software tools to design, simulate, and analyze photonic devices and systems. They work primarily in the field of photonics and optoelectronics, leveraging Lumerical’s simulation tools for applications such as integrated optics, fiber optics, and nanophotonics. These engineers often collaborate with research and development teams to create high-performance optical components used in telecommunications, data centers, and other advanced technologies.

What types of projects do Lumerical engineers typically work on, and how does the team collaborate to deliver solutions?

Lumerical engineers are often involved in designing, simulating, and optimizing photonic devices and systems for applications like optical communications, sensing, or integrated photonics. Projects may range from developing new simulation features to supporting customer-specific workflows. Collaboration is key—engineers regularly work in cross-functional teams with software developers, product managers, and application specialists, using agile methodologies and frequent communication to deliver high-quality solutions. This team structure fosters knowledge sharing and offers opportunities to learn from experts across domains.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Lumerical engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Lumerical Engineer, you need a solid background in photonics, optics, and computational physics, usually supported by a degree in electrical engineering or a related field. Expertise in using Lumerical software for photonic device simulation, along with familiarity with CAD tools and programming languages like Python or MATLAB, is highly valuable. Strong problem-solving, analytical thinking, and communication skills help in designing innovative solutions and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams. Mastery of these skills ensures accurate simulations, efficient workflow, and successful development of advanced photonic technologies.

What is the difference between Lumerical vs Photonics Engineer?

AspectLumericalPhotonics Engineer
Required CredentialsKnowledge of photonics simulation software, engineering degreeDegree in optical, electrical, or photonics engineering; often familiar with simulation tools
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, R&D departments, simulation-focused rolesDesign, develop, and test photonic devices in industry or research settings
Industry UsageUsed by engineers for simulation and modelingProfessionals applying photonics principles in product development

While Lumerical refers to a software suite used by photonics professionals, a Photonics Engineer is a role that often requires proficiency with such tools. Both roles overlap in skills and industry, but Lumerical is a software product, whereas Photonics Engineer is a job title focused on applying photonics knowledge in practical projects.

Job description

Job Type
Full-time
Description
Summary:
The Photonics Engineer provides technical expertise, primarily in Ansys photonics and optical simulation tools, to support PADT's customers while also assisting PADT's Ansys sales team through strategic pre-sales and technical scoping activities, utilizing engineering knowledge, simulation experience, problem solving, enthusiasm, written and verbal communication, and eagerness to learn. Experience with photonics and optics simulation software is required, with preferences for tools such as Ansys Lumerical, Zemax, or similar industry-standard software.
The Photonics Engineer is responsible for helping customers solve complex photonics engineering problems using Ansys software products. The position involves working closely with customers and internal teams in a consultative and supportive technical role, including simulation, model setup, analysis, and interpretation of results for photonic devices and systems such as lasers, waveguides, gratings, photonic integrated circuits, CMOS sensors, and resonators. The ability to research technical issues, learn new methods, and find practical solutions for a wide variety of customer challenges is paramount.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities include the following. Other duties may be assigned.
  • Work with potential and current customers to scope optics/photonics simulation solutions and identify opportunities that match PADT and Ansys products to their design needs.
  • Collaborate with account managers to technically drive new optics/photonics opportunities, support ongoing accounts, and contribute to formal sales proposals.
  • Provide, track, and document technical support for optics and photonics customers, including answering questions on software utilization, identifying workarounds, and developing a working understanding of their workflows to drive tool adoption and escalate when appropriate.
  • Develop and deliver technical training courses, product demonstrations, and presentations focused on optics and photonics use cases such as lasers, PICs, waveguides, sensors, and resonators.
  • Create technical collateral including application notes, tutorials, blog posts, and webinars to support customer engagement and technical adoption.
  • Perform benchmarking and proof-of-concept studies with Ansys tools, reporting relevant performance and accuracy metrics.
  • Maintain a working understanding of Ansys optics, photonics, and related multiphysics offerings and how they fit into customer workflows.
  • Participate in ongoing training to expand Ansys skill areas and share optics and photonics expertise with colleagues.

Requirements
Qualifications:
To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill, and/or ability required. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
Required Education/Experience:
  • Bachelor of Science in Optics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field; master's degree preferred.
  • Strong theoretical understanding of photonics, such as electromagnetics, wave propagation, and light-matter interaction.
  • Minimum of one year of experience with optics and/or photonics simulation tools (e.g., Ansys Lumerical, Zemax, CODE V, or similar).
  • Ability to work effectively both independently and in diverse team environments.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to develop practical engineering solutions for challenging optics and photonics problems.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication and presentation skills in English.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, and Excel.
  • Familiarity with scripting or programming (Python, MATLAB, or similar) for workflow automation and data processing.
